Listener Appreciation Week: The Toilet That Sank a German U-Boat


An experimental deepwaTer toilet system resulted in the sinking of German U-1206
Listener Appreciation Week, Day 3
During World War 2, the Germans captured several Dutch submarines, which included an experimental air venting device. The Germans put this to use, and used it on board some of their own U-boats. This led to the creation of a high-pressure, deepwater toilet waste system, and things did not quite go as planned.
